I'm trying to install Pi-hole on my TP-Link router, but I can't connect to the router via SSH since I'm not connected to the local network. I've attempted to connect using Windows PowerShell, tried the Docker Server Admin App, and even a VPN, but no luck so far. Any advice?

If you have access to the router’s settings, try using PuTTY for your SSH connection; it might be more straightforward than PowerShell. But honestly, if you're on the wrong network or the router doesn’t support SSH, you might need to rethink your approach.
First off, make sure that SSH is enabled on your router. You'll also need a username and password to log in. Remember that the connection depends highly on your router's capabilities, and sadly, most TP-Link routers don't have enough resources to run something like Pi-hole directly on them.
You might want to consider getting a different router that supports apps like Pi-hole since TP-Link might not cut it. Also, when you refer to "router server," just be clear: your router’s IP is usually something like 192.168.1.1. You’ll need to use that IP when connecting.
